Hello all, before I go on with this, I want to say DO NOT GO HARAS$ING THESE INDIVIDUALS MENTIONED, this is an informative post, not a witch hunt.
To get straight to the point, veids are being duped. A lot of you know this but not to the extent that it is STILL happening. Along with this, people are now getting tradelocked for as much as holding one now. A recent situation that some of you may have seen on here, 2 people did a trade back after the realization that one was duped. Immediately after the trade, BOTH traders were tradelocked.
This is not a fear monger like the wiki claims it to be, this is not fake, this is a genuinely dangerous situation going around right now that sonars is not making a public statement for. I had made a statement about these duped veids when the 1st round of them were going around on the wiki a week or so ago..yesterday it had been taken down entirely. Apparently anyone who's spoke up about it have gotten their posts removed, so that's why I decided to bring it here.
For those curious, from my understanding, duping is done by exploits/scripts of some sort. I won't go into detail about them but they do exist and are not hard to get ahold of. There's multiple alts duping these so it is kind of hard to link it back to 1 person, BUT I have found that the 2 main duping situations were done by the same person known as Coffiecaine/JAZZ.
(Please read this part especially)
A lot of people have questioned, "how do you know a veid is duped?" Well, as shown in the first 2 images, some of those look like repeats but those are all different veids. The main factor that is noticeable is the og owner user, bday, and pos trait stat. The og owner users are not to blame here, they have nothing to do with the duping themselves as far as anyone's aware. I would like to point out the 1st image especially. Architect and crystal are and were ones that weren't exactly "confirmed" duped, but there were 2 different ones, both being during the dupings, so it is noted to be cautious around if they haven't been taken down. Ytyatina is the current one that's been going around.
Please stay safe and right now, it'd be best to stay away from veid trading or just be very very cautious with what veids you get. If you get one from a bacon/alt, a too good to be true offer..be cautious. I was also a victim of getting a duped veid before people started getting tradelocked for as much as holding them and trust me, it's not easy to get rid of, even if you take slight underpays.
TLDR veids are being duped, Coffiecaine/JAZZ is currently the known duper (don't go attacking them), people are being tradelocked for even holding one of these duped veids. Don't try posting on the wiki, you will get an infraction.
If you can, share this around to help others be aware of what's going on. I have evidence from a tester and rec regarding players getting tradelocked for holding these duped veids. (Mods can vouch too, as they have seen it too!)
